TUESDAY MARCH 26 1001
Mr Franklin Austin is auddonly
gaining some aheap notoriety as a
tempernnoe apnstla Mephisto mua
be laughing and he appears in
print and on the stage of tho
Orpheum as the advocate of the
Dispensary bill a measure which
will inornate jntemperanon among
the Hawaiian to an alarming extent
Whon Mr Auntin used to go into
saloons nod it wasnt infrequently
that he saw tho aate by tho way
he ought to wipe off those small
amounts he went there for the
sake of sociability and to talk the
other follows or the barkeeper to
death or to a drink Now he has
joined hands with another Nick
and he and Nick Russell or what
ever tho name of the medical politi
cians are holding forth in public as
temperance lecturers Whatever
Franklin Austin says or does is of
small acoouot however but we ob
ject to the remarks of Dr Russell
when he is reported as follows
Senator Russell addressed tbe
meeting advocating the dispensary
bill a a meaure conducive to pub
lio health and morals Ho didnt
believe any one could be against
such a rofnrm uriless iufliienced by
self interest If you hear a man
talking against the bill said tho
Senator he either stupidly con
siders his own private interest
fore the publio good or is ignorant
Usually he has shares in the liquor
trust
A bill which will furnish the peo
pie at large with cheaper liquor
than is now obtainable and with
plenty of it is not a good bill and
ws neither think those opposed to
itare atupidooDfliders his own inter
ests or has shares in tbe liquor trust
As far as igoorance is oouoerned it
is only shown by Dr Rustell who
has no protioal knowledge of the
Hawaiian

SHALL WE TOLERATE THE
CHURCHES
A Reply to Shall the Citizens of Ha
waii Tolerate Iwlell
Satan finds somo mlschlof still for
idle hands to do
Principally the Churches
Soino one has published a discourse
hy the Kovcrend Abraham E Ciiy u
pamphlet that should never have been
published at nil
The subject is one that is proper
foi men to discuss but not for women
and children to read particularly chil
dren
As it stands today undoubtedly care
lesB persons have left copies of this
vicious publication around where It
has fallen into tender hands with Its
definition of certain words and de
scriptions of immoral lifo opened the
floodgates of knowledge to the inno
cent and pure
Rev Abraham E Cory evidently
had his misgivings as to the course
ho was pursuing when he delivered
his lecture for he says I have con
sidered the propriety of discussing
such questions In the presence of mix
ed audience etc etc Then he said
he decided it was but a sacred duty
Consider the amazing Impudence the
blasphemy Sacred duty What
could the listeners have been thinking
of to have permitted his continuance
of the subject until the women and
children had been dismissed v
As to the value of the pamphlet it
contains facts mlststateraents and
hypothetical deductions but the glar
ing fact remains while probably it will
fail of its purpose The closing of Iwi
lei yet will remain as a sample of
splendid Christian literature for
our women and children to digest
Why We 8hould Not Tolerate
Churches
First for giving asseB the moral
right to bring to the attention of our
young subjects of which wo parents
are striving to keep them in happy ig
norance of
Yes until such tme as they are ma
ture enough to decide on the right and
wrong of social evils a right that no
human bo ho al divine- has morV
right to determine for us
Second The church confesses horo
and the world over its Inability to by
Its teachings and example overcome
vice
Whenever it meets vlco it appeals
to the law
Poor Church Alas you sit around
idly yet levying tribute from the
world under the pretense of doing
good
When there are a few souls to be
saved the combating of vice by Chris
tian methods you shirk your duty and
call upon the law
If the millions collected yearly by
the churches were only given to the
civil authorities for distribution what
noble work could be accomplished
What is needed is a sensible dis
tribution of the countless amounts of
monpy collected The civil authori
ties wouldnt with such means at
hand be crying for help to the
churches for the suppression of vice
either Confiscate the churcheb and
use them for the public good
Ostensibly the church exists and is
Santlon 1 That oanUal nnnSh I RuPPrteu because Its mission in life
mont within the limitsof tho Teri I ls seoU and to save and Jt 0UGnt
rilorr of Hawaii U hereby abol 1 l0 De c01uent t0 do so instead of
uownng ior uie civil arm to come to
its help and do its the churchs

Past usefulness will not atone for

will you be permitted by pamphlet or
word of mouth to assume the Moral
Hlght to defy common decency with

In Conclusion
There is only onojoxcuso for the ad
dress of the Rev Abraham E Cory
under the circumstance viz its do
livery before a mixed audience
The gentleman must bo crippled
under the hat
Tho samo applies to those respon
sible for that nasty filthy publication
bhall the Citizens of Hawaii Tolerate
Iwilel Satan finds somo mlBchlcf
still for idjo hapds to do It is really
edifying to note the suckers he on
jnares In his employ
should fear and dread shrdluetaoi
Oh Cory Brother Cory on what
Meat hast thou our Caesar fed
That the poor benighted heathen
Thy name should fear and dread
Couldst thou have searched tho Scrip
tures
And found that He above
Would not that wo foar His wrath
But teach that God 13 Lovc

A purpose you have served
And served it mighty well
Our laws and not our ministers
Must save us all from hell
